MP Technology, LLC provides our customers with information technology products and services. The MP Technology, LLC consolidated Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, process and disclose your personal information, and to help you understand and exercise your privacy rights.
Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by us as a data controller, including on our websites, professional and managed services, and other online or offline offerings. To make this Privacy Policy easier to read, our websites, services, and other offerings are collectively referred to as the “Services.” This Privacy Policy is intended for use by residents of the United States only. By providing personal information to us or by using the Services, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
An Important Note: This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information that our customers, along with their employees, contractors, and other personnel (collectively, “Workers”) provide to us to process on the customer’s behalf (collectively, “Customer Data”). Rather, our customers’ respective privacy policies (such as their employee privacy notices) govern their collection and use of Customer Data, and our processing of Customer Data is governed by the contracts that we have in place with our customers, not this Privacy Policy.
Any questions or requests relating to Customer Data should be directed to our customers.
